MY World 360° is a global partnership initiative led by Digital Promise, Oculus, and the UN SDG Action Campaign that invites emerging creators worldwide to create media as a way to share their perspectives and advance positive action toward the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Since 2018, MY World 360º has exhibited at in-person events like the United Nations General Assembly in New York City, COP24 and COP25, the UN SDG Global Festival of Action, the DW Global Media Forum and other global events.
